Creek

Creek is the southern terminus of the Green Line, added in 2014 as an extension into the Al Jaddaf area beside the historic Dubai Creek. As the end of the line it is built for turnaround and onward transfer, with the trains reversing here before heading back through Healthcare City and the Deira souks. It is one of the calmer stations on the network, with a spacious, unhurried feel outside the commuter peaks.

The station sits on the developing eastern bank of the creek, an area that has grown around waterfront residences and cultural venues. It is not a dense shopping district like the older Deira stops, and most passengers here are residents of the surrounding Al Jaddaf developments or people transferring by taxi towards the newer creekside destinations further along the water.

Station Overview

Creek opened in 2014 on the Dubai Metro Green Line and sits in Zone 6 of the NOL fare system. It is an elevated station on a viaduct and serves as the southern terminus of the line, with the network's fully automated, driverless trains.

Lines and Connectivity

Creek is the end of the Green Line. Trains from here run back through Al Jadaf, Dubai Healthcare City and Oud Metha towards the Deira and Bur Dubai heritage stops. For the Red Line, change at BurJuman or Union, the network's two interchanges.

Station Layout and Structure

As a terminus, Creek is an elevated station laid out to handle turning trains and taxi transfers, with lifts, escalators and stairs from the concourse.

Creek has full step-free access, with lifts between street level, the concourse and the platform. Tactile paving, audio announcements and platform screen doors are all in place, in line with the network's standards.
